We will end up with a lot of people (those who upgrade) to be using ext4 anyway. As for the installation QA I don't think the file system itself is a major source of churn / bugs. As for "on LVM" ... I am not convinced LVM adds any gains on workstation especially if the workstation is a laptop. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
